Jesse William Adams

[Jesse Adams]

The Basics

[/i][/size][/right]

Name: Jesse William Adams
Nicknames: Jess, Adams, Asshole
Age: 16
Orientation: Difficult to define. He doesn't really have an interest in either sex, or relationships. He'd much rather cause general chaos and fear than waste time on something like love.
Desired Rank/Job: Student
Powers: Dream/Memory Manipulation – Jesse’s actually got a very good grasp on how to use this. The problem is, he doesn’t use it for the right reasons. To put it simply, let’s break it down:
Memory Manipulation – If Jesse has physical contact with another person, he has access to their memories. And then, he has a field day. Either he’ll find something to use as blackmail, or, if he’s being a particularly cruel little thing, he’ll play with them. He’ll twist them, mutate them into something distinctly bad. However, the second he breaks contact, the person’s memories are completely restored, for now. He's slowly learning how to make the change permanent. This affects Jesse, too. After a bit of memory manipulation, his own memories start to fade. They come back, yes, but it’s not instantaneous. The more he uses it, the more it’s chipping away at his own memories. If he’s nice to the other person, letting them see good memories, his own come back whole. But lately, the meaner he’s been, the more he’s starting to realize that some of his memories are fragmented, fuzzy. He hasn’t made the connection yet.
Dream Manipulation – Jesse has fun with this one. He still requires physical contact, but this, he can do when his victim is sleeping, or unconscious. He can tap into their dreams, and force them to dream whatever he wants. And he has a pretty twisted imagination. He loves to inflict nightmares on his unassuming victims. Oh, he can make you dream something pretty and peaceful. He just doesn’t do it that often. The problem with this? If you’re hurt in your dream, you’re hurt in real life. He can’t do anything drastic (though, it’s feared he has the potential to do so). No broken bones, and he definitely can’t kill you. Yet. Unfortunately, this ability backfires on him. When he sleeps, he can’t control his dreams. And he’s often plagued by nightmares, and wakes up with cuts and bruises from them. It tends to lead to a touch of insomnia. If he can avoid it, he won’t sleep.

The Details

Hair Color: Naturally a honey blonde, but he’s got it bleached right now
Eye Color: Green
Any Piercings? Twice in each ear lobe, and a silver ring in his lip
Any Tattoos? None
Any Scars? Quite a few nondescript nicks and lines – either from fights, or nightmares
General Appearance: On the shorter side of the spectrum, but still growing, Jesse’s almost like a cat. Long and lean. And very, very quick.

His eyes are a piercing green, with an almost dangerous edge to them. You don’t know exactly what he’s up to, but whatever it is, you just know it isn’t going to be good. And 99.9% of the time, you’ll be right. If you meet his eyes, you might find yourself with a little cold shiver down your back. Yeah. He has that effect on people.

Jesse hits about 5’7”, and he’s fairly slender. But trust me, he’s far from delicate. In fact, I’d be more worried about the other kid in a fight. Jesse is a dirty fighter, and makes up for what he lacks in size and bulk with speed, and cheating.

He’s got a few piercings, but whether that makes him look more intimidating, I have no idea. Anyway. He’s got long-ish blonde hair, which he often lets obscure his vision. He’s creepy like that. It’s normally a very pretty honey blonde, but he bleached it just before coming to Hammel.

As for clothing, yes, he wears it. He wears a lot of black, and happens to like this skinny jean thing, thank you very much. He’s big on accessories like belts, especially studded belts, and wristbands. He won’t touch guyliner with a ten foot pole, though he does habitually paint his fingernails black. He tends to exude a dangerous, creepy aura. But until he gets close to you, you’ll never know exactly why.
Personality: Caustic. Sarcastic. Dangerous.

Dangerous, in particular. Jesse is not friendly. He hasn’t been, not for a long time. Making friends isn’t priority for him. He’d rather spend his time terrorizing his fellow students (and landing himself in trouble for it) than make friends. Friends are for sissies. He looks out for one person, and one alone.

It’s safe to say that Jesse isn’t really all that happy of a person. The fact that he gets his kicks from tormenting the other students is a pretty clear indicator. He’s one that the officials have their eye on. He has the potential to do a lot of good in the world. He could be useful, too, with his access to memory. The problem is, he doesn’t want to be good. He also has the potential to be very, very dangerous. The officials know this. He knows they think something, he’s just not sure what it is.

History

Jesse was destined for greatness the moment he was born. His father would see to that.

After the amazing disappointment of his first son, Keith, Michael Adams turned all of his focus and attention to his middle child, Jesse. In him, he wanted to bring out his own prized traits. The silver tongue, the cunning strategizing to beat out an opponent. Really, he wanted a little clone. He got a little more than he bargained for.

Jesse grew up... troubled. It seemed Michael had done his job well. The little boy had a terrible temper, and it flared up consistently. He was nasty at school, resorting to biting comments about his classmates, and his teachers. Michael was proud of him. After all, he was just standing up for himself. He was being the dominant one. What was wrong with that? Well, everything.

Pushed to excel by his father, well, it’s no wonder Jesse became a little unstable. Around the same time his abilities started to appear, he was on the verge of snapping. But then, he discovered power. And he used it. As he gained better understanding of it, he snuck into his father’s bedroom and used it on him, creating monstrous dreams from nothing, and scaring the man that had pushed him and Keith around. The first time he did it, he was met with his own frightening creations, and he couldn’t control it. And that was what scared him the most.

To date, he’s only ever used his abilities nicely to the women in his family. He knew his father abused his mother. Hell, he slapped around dhis kids, too. For his mother, and eventually, his sister, he would conjure them sweet, pretty, peaceful dreams. He kept this ability hidden, but he couldn’t hide it for long. Hammel took an interest in him, and set off to recruit him for training. Anything, to get out of the house. He agreed, especially when he learned he would gain greater control over it. He really couldn’t wait.

He does worry, though, at school. He keeps in constant contact with his sister. So far, his father seems to be leaving her alone, but Jesse knows it’s only a matter of time.

Just an update...

The moment Jesse Adams met Gabriel Underwood, his life took a turn down a path few should tread. Joining the terrorist organization of MSAD at barely sixteen, the teenager was groomed into a powerful asset. Gabriel taught him how to control his powers, and turned him into a dangerous weapon.

Of course, all good things come to an end.

Gabriel’s death hit him hard. While everyone else was planning a war, he was in the darkness. He hadn’t wanted to move on, until he realized that revenge could be served. It gave him a bit of life back, and his focus became just one thing. Kill Chase Kilbourne.

Sadly, things don’t work out the way we want them to.

On the day of the fight between Hammel and MSAD, he had his chance. He had his target. He was so close to what he wanted. His finger was on the trigger. And then it wasn’t. His gun was out of his hands, and he was bleeding. Shot with a shotgun, and feeling like he was going to die. Not surprisingly, this didn’t scare him. He wanted to die. He wanted to be with Gabriel again.

Imagine his surprise when he awoke not in Heaven or Hell, nor in his own bed in within the compound, but somewhere unfamiliar. He didn’t recognize it. It looked like a bedroom, yet... not. There were medical supplies all around, and the pain in his abdomen was just... gone.

It’s a funny feeling, waking up to the knowledge that you’re living under the roof of someone you detest, with a new identity. It’s even better when you’re expected to get a job, go to the normal school, and pretend to play family with said person. Not to mention pretend to be a human.

Welcome to your new life, Jess Kenneth.

Just an update...

A funny thing happens when a teenager gets tired of living with a caring person when they don’t like being cared for. Between rules and curfews, ‘Kenneth’ was getting just a little tired of living under Nate’s thumb. Even with the distance they’d put between themselves and Pilot Ridge, he was still just as uncomfortable living with the former operative.

And no, it honestly had nothing to do with the idea of Nate caring about him more and more like a father would a son, and the feelings slowly starting to grow for him, as well. No. Nor did it have anything to do with his trust issues with father figures, or his habit of pushing others away when they tried to get close.

So, he made a decision. Stealth was something Gabriel had taught him well, and he utilized that skill. He was sure Nate would never know until it was too late. He gathered the most important things to him, like his Xbox hard drive, his laptop, minimal clothing. Anything small enough to keep his absence hidden just a little bit longer. He waited until Nate left for work, expecting him to go to school.

Instead, he loaded Gambit in his car, along with dog toys, and his own belongings. A quick stop at an electronics store, a new phone, and his old one crushed beneath his tires (no tracking that way, of course), and he was off.

For a while, he wasn’t sure exactly where he was going. All he wanted was a quick goodbye at Gabriel’s gravesite before he took off again. But the closer he got to Pilot Ridge, the more he started wondering what it would be like. Going back to Hammel, actually trying to behave himself. Letting people in, letting even Dr. Neville in to help. He knew he had issues, and he knew that pushing people away wasn’t helping him any.

Okay, he had a plan. Find a place for Gambit. Try to get back into Hammel. Get help.
